You all know that Linus Kaikai left Nation Media Group in the capacity of NTV General Manager to join Royal Media Services as its Chief Operations Officer, a position previous held by now Lands CS Farida Karoney.
But that was blocked.
Okay let me be more specific, President Uhuru personally called RMS vice chairperson Purity Gathoni Macharia to talk her out of hiring Linus Kaikai.
Linus fell out with State House after he allowed NTV to air Raila Odinga’s swearing in ceremony. Hence his issues now.
Now, sources are whispering claiming that despite the phone call, Linus still has a job with RMS because he had already signed the contract.
According to Business Today, RMS decided to woo Linus Kaikai with a sweet package. They agreed to take liability for a mortgage and regular Sacco loans Linus Kaikai owed amounting to over Ksh 20 million.
In addition to that the media house will also retain his as a consultant to enable them regularize the loans. RMS has since appointed Fred Afune as its Chief Operations Officer.
Afune served as Radio and TV Production Director at RMS. KTN Managing Editor Joe Ageyo has now been named Editorial Director at RMS.
